Chamber Orchestra with saxophonist David Stambler to perform Nov. 18

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State Chamber Orchestra, including faculty saxophonist David Stambler, will present its final performance of the fall semester at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in Esber Recital Hall. The performance also features two sets of dances: one a set of folk dances by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók and the other conceived for the ballet by Igor Stravinsky. The chamber orchestra is conducted by Gerardo Edelstein.

Stambler will play "Tableaux de Provence" by female French composer Paule Maurice. This 20th century work describes the culture and scenery of Provence in southeast France, where the composer and her husband vacationed.

Tickets are $4.99 for the general public and $2 for students. Tickets are available at the door approximately 30 minutes prior. This concert is also available through live streaming video at the Penn State School of Music.
